Tottenham Hotspur are considering moves for Andre Gomes and Bryan Cristante as they step up their search for potential replacements for Mousa Dembele, as reported by The Mirror.

Belgian midfielder Dembele is looking increasingly likely to quit the Premier League in favour of the Chinese Super League this summer after nearly eight years in London - six of which have been spent at Tottenham following his move from Fulham in 2012.

The 30-year-old was targeted by clubs in the Chinese Super League earlier this season and could now be set for fresh bid from the Far East while the door remains open for Dembele to head to Italy, with the likes of Juventus believed to be interested.

Spurs will sell if they receive an acceptable offer for Dembele, despite the Belgian being one of Spurs' most influential players in recent seasons as he will only have 12 months left to run on his contract at the end of the current campaign.

Although Spurs are not actively looking to sell, they are understood to be looking to cover every eventuality and have began preparing for his potential departure, outlining numerous targets across Europe.

Barcelona midfielder Gomes has only played 90 minutes in La Liga once since October and Spurs believe they will be able to strike a deal for the Portuguese midfielder.

Meanwhile, Cristante has been one of Atalanta's most influential players this season while on loan from Benfica as the Italian side topped a Europa League group which included Everton and French side Lyon.

Any new arrival could spark something of a squad upheaval at Spurs, with Dembele's Belgium team-mate Toby Alderweireld heading for the exit and striker Fernando Llorente also unlikely to stay.
